Part Time Attendance

Illinois Law 105 ILCS 5/10-20.24 states that …non-public school students must be allowed to enroll in an academic course not offered in their non-public school for which there is space. All applications must be submitted by the private school principle, to the public school, by May 1 for classes beginning the following academic school year.
